Frank Zappa Berlin 1968 The Riot

Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention at the Berliner Sportpalast, 16th October 1968, mostly recorded outside the venue talking to fans as they tried to get into the show. A week after their appearance on German TV show 'Beat-Club' Zappa and the Mothers played one of Hitler’s old stomping grounds, the Sportpalast in Berlin. It was here Zappa was approached by a group of young German radical students who–depending on which book you read or version you hear–either wanted their pop idol to demand the release of Fritz Teufel–founder of the radical group Kommune 1 who was currently under arrest; or to denounce capitalism from the stage that very night; or show his support for the imminent glorious socialist revolution or wanted they wanted Zappa’s help with their plans to riot for a “socialist education policy.” Take your pick. Zappa was none too impressed by these grievance hungry students, who had mistakenly taken their cue from the length of the Mothers’ hair and Zappa’s subversive songs that he and they would willingly sign on to the student demands. Understandably, Zappa said “nope” or perhaps he said “nein.” Undeterred, the students demanded Zappa to order the audience at that night’s concert to go out and set fire to the Allied Command Building on Potsdamer Strasse. Again and none too surprisingly Zappa said “no.” The students felt doubly betrayed. They soon made their disappointment known at the gig that night, bombarding the stage with vegetables and blasting air horns. The Mothers carried on regardless.. #frankzappa #60smusic #scottishteevee
